Do you still get drunk like that, though? If I'm drinking the occasional booze between three glasses of water—and consequently going to the bathroom every half-hour on top of it—I feel like I'd never work up to a tipsy. Which kind of negates the purpose of day drinking and just makes me feel like I wasted calories.

Can this drug be used to block feelings associated with other experiences? Like, say, middle school?

No. How about no. I'm so tired of these young adult books blowing up into national phenomena, with grown-ass women listing Twilight, The Hunger Games, or Divergent as their favorite literature. These are books written for a teenage audience. They might be a fun brain break, but I shouldn't see my 30-something…

This is tough because on the one hand, as feminists, we decry the "mommy track" employment practices that make it difficult for women with families to gain traction in the workplace. But at the same time, practices like these—that were no doubt begun because of wanting to make it easier for women with families!—come…

I was going to say, "Too old for the part as envisioned, maybe?" and then I checked ages: she's only one year older than Meryl! Although I gotta say, after years of watching the 1990 movie version of Into the Woods, it'd hard to see a 20-years-older Bernadette doing the part.

See, but I can understand the expense of heels so much more than handbags because of the fact that high-quality shoes are far more comfortable and—if taken care of—can last for decades longer than cheaper shoes. There's an immediate difference in terms of the value delivered to the customer. With purses, expensive or…

This is what gets me. Our country has such profound problems with poverty, and that just never makes it into the discourse.

How many hosts would be OK with that?! Open bar is one thing; open liquor store is another.

When it comes to everyone acclaiming this for being creative, I'm a little lost. A gift basket full of pricy cooking things is what accounting firms buy for mid-level clients around the holidays. Throwing in Sour Patch Kids and Marshmallow Fluff doesn't strike me as making it particularly special.

But isn't it during training and deployment that the majority of these assaults are taking place?

I think the sense is that it's empowering because you're not being ashamed of your naked body. Which is pretty wince-worthy.

Yeah, I tend to feel way groggier and more sluggish when I get more than eight hours. As delightful as it is to be cuddled up in blankets and maybe wake up and read for a bit and then cuddle back under the blankets again...

Seriously. I doubt that most people are running on fewer than six hours of sleep a night by choice.

What do you do with the pictures afterwards? Besides leaving them in an attic to scandalize future grandchildren, obviously.

It seems to me that there are always higher rates of sexual assault in organizations where people are isolated from their usual support networks and there aren't many divisions between living and work: college dorms, military barracks, and the prison system are the examples that come to mind.

Is it really helpful to compare the military to other workplace environments, when it has such different demands? You might as well hold the army up against an accounting firm and question why fewer accountants are suffering heat exhaustion and post-traumatic stress.

Hearing about this makes me worried that people will start to resent the women who report sexual assaults for harsh responses like this. Is that happening at all, or am I being too worst-case-scenario?

"During the first three minutes of a movie, a new character comes on-screen. 'Who's that?'"

I love imagining someone who hasn't seen JP a dozen times trying to make heads or tails of the humor in this article. Alejandro? Chilean sea bass? Inspections? Love.

Right? Maybe do a movie that features stories and heroes that come from Native American culture, as opposed to ones featuring Native American characters as written by whites?
